But I can also see that there might be a brain-gut relationship in that stress makes it worse.
From my research I don't see a cure in the next 10 years but I'm hoping for better symptom management medicine.

Have you tried - and I'm not even fucking joking about this - a fecal transplant? I.e. having a doctor inject a healthy person's poop up your ass to re-colonize it with the microorganisms you lack. It's worked miracles for some people and is now even acknowledged as a potential cure by mainstream medicine. I recently read a couple pieces about doctors who thought it was totally nuts (and kinda disgusting) until their patients started recovering from lifelong crippling bowel disorders after trying it.
